Case Study: Jata Emona achieves more sustainable, lower-waste egg transport with IFCO reusable packaging containers

Jata Emona cuts egg packaging waste with IFCO’s reusable crates

Jata Emona, Slovenia's leading egg producer, faced challenges in efficiently and sustainably transporting their fragile eggs, which were prone to breakage and waste with traditional cardboard packaging. They partnered with vendor IFCO Systems to pilot the use of IFCO's reusable packaging containers (RPCs) for eggs.

IFCO implemented its reusable egg crates, which required new processes and training for Jata Emona. The solution resulted in significantly less waste, better product protection, and reduced breakage, leading to monetary savings. The successful collaboration became a national benchmark for sustainable egg packaging in Slovenia and served as a blueprint for IFCO to expand its reusable egg crate solution into other Central and Eastern European markets.
